Tracy wasn’t kidding when she emailed before the wedding and said “We consider you and Travis part of our extended family at the wedding.”  After the first day, I think WE weren’t even sure if we were the photographers or the family at Bernardo and Tracy’s wedding in St. Thomas.  We quickly found ourselves hanging out at the pool with the family chatting it up with Uncle Juan in Spanish (well, Travis was doing the Spanish chatting…I no speako Espanol).  I absolutely love the emotion and intimacy that comes along with having a small group at a destination wedding.  Just a group of very best friends and family…spending time together…in a ridiculously beautiful place.

Thank you, new friends…for being such a great group, and THANK YOU Bernardo and Tracy…for looking so hot on the beach.

While I was with the girls getting ready, Travis was capturing one of my favorite groom pics ever!

Tracy…are you kidding?  STUNNING.

Annnnnnd, apparently, it’s time to get this party STARTED!

Too much warmth is never a bad thing.
St Thomas is beyond dreamy and I am definitely going back soon.
Sigh…Bernardo and Tracy are SO in love.
Need a new sundress…and a tan…before I go tropical again.
Tracy was the most beautiful beach bride.
Why are my pants fitting tighter? Dang all you can eat resorts…

Oh, what’s that? I must be daydreaming out loud again. Ok, back to reality. The reality is that I am so happy that Travis and I had the opportunity to document Bernardo and Tracy’s beautiful wedding in St. Thomas. The other reality is that despite the horrid temperatures here in Michigan, I love Michigan and am happy to be back. We have some super exciting things coming up (the first is to be announced on MONDAY), and life is….wonderful.

Enjoy a few images of Bernardo and Tracy…pre wedding style. We had a few minutes before the rehearsal dinner and took advantage of the beautiful light and location! Wedding images coming soon!
